Shotokan Karate of Ellwood

Good Morning! Just a couple of reminders for this week: 1) All classes will be via Zoom according to new regulations put in place by Governor Wolf. I have sent out meeting invites if you didn't receive one please let me know! 2) This is the last week of classes before break we will be off December 18th through a possible live return on January 4th 2021. I will be monitoring the situation and keep everyone updated.... As always if there are questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you all for your commitment and dedication during this trying time.

Good afternoon! I know its been a while since our last communication. I wanted to let you know I understand that some schools have chosen to go back to virtual for the time being as COVID cases are on the rise, especially in Lawrence county. I am doing everything to keep open but this involves cooperation from students and their families. Since we are indoors exercising for an extended period of time I do require masks for all students, I also require temperature checks a...nd application of hand sanitizer as they enter the dojo. What else I need from students and their families is to please stay home if you are not feeling well and if you do come in contact with a COVID positive person please notify me immediately and self quarantine for the CDC recommended 10-14 days. There are options for online training during quarantine so no classes are missed, please reach out for those details. I will try to stay open as long as possible and I am doing my part by disinfecting with a bleach solution between classes and requiring masks but again I need cooperation from everyone to ensure the safety of not only the dojo members but their family members and the immediate community. Thank you all for your dedication to training in this difficult time and if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me. See more

Good morning to all! In light of the announcement made yesterday by the Governor masks are now to be worn during all classes. If there are issues while wearing a mask during class please let me know as we still have the Zoom option still available. If there are questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you! https://www.governor.pa.gov//gov-wolf-sec-of-health-signs/

I want to reiterate that coming to the Dojo for class is completely voluntary and we are still offering classes over Zoom if you do not feel comfortable coming in person. I want to make sure everyone is comfortable as they practice. If there are questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

It was a great night at the dojo! First time back in a while and everyone did great! Step by step we will get through this and I appreciate all the students and their families for their dedication and trust in this unprecedented time.
